8. Ph. carbonarlus Jyllh. 



(ayllh. Ins. Suec. II, 319; Thorns. Skand. Col. II, 157; Janglb. 

 Kaf. Ea. II, 445.- tenuicornls Muls. et Rey Brevip. 1877, 237). 



From the closely allied, three preceding species it differs main- 

 ly in, that the transversal rid^e on base of the abdominal second 

 and third free dorsal joints is rectilinear without the annulate tip 

 at middle, as in these. Otherwise it mostly resembles chalceus Steph. 

 ( carbonarius Er.) 



Black, glistening; head and pronotum with a darkly, feebly green- 

 ish, the elytra more often with a stronger greenish bronze-reflection; 

 these together with abdomen finely blackhaired. 



Ihe head in the O is hardly as broad as pronotum, in the Q still 

 narrower, in both the temples are rounded off, and with scattered punc- 

 tation, and between the eyes with a transversal punctate row of four 

 punctures, of which the middle punctur«s are placed almost twice as 

 far from each other as from the side punctures; antennae rather slen- 

 der, only feebly thickened outwardly, their outer joints (6-lc) scar- 

 cely transverse; pronotum (viewed from above) slightly narrowing for- 

 wardly, without distinct impressions on sides, the dorsum with 4 punc- 

 tures in each dorsal rov,, ---(Page 396) and 4-6 side punctures, the 



surface extremely finely transver sally aciculate and in certain direc- 

 tions feebly irised; elytra with rather dense, the abdomen with liuch 

 finer, scattered punctation, liie fine transversal ridge of the first 

 free dorsal joints in the depression on oase rectilinear. L. 5-11 mm. 



In the O the abdominal sixth ventral joint at tip obtuse angular-
